Orthodontics

Straight Teeth, an Aesthetic Smile

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that contributes to an aesthetic smile, healthy biting function, and overall oral health by ensuring the proper alignment of the teeth and jaws. Crowded teeth or jaw discrepancies do not only cause visual concerns but can also lead to problems such as chewing difficulties, speech disorders, and gum diseases. We offer permanent solutions to these problems through orthodontic treatments.

Why Is Orthodontic Treatment Necessary?

The main reasons why orthodontic treatment is needed are:

• Aesthetic Concerns: Crowded, gapped, or irregular tooth alignment.
• Functional Problems: Wrong bite (malocclusion), difficulty chewing, speech disorders.
• Oral Health: Plaque accumulation in areas difficult to brush, and the resulting risk of cavities/gum diseases.
• Jaw Joint Problems: Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders due to jaw closing discrepancies.

Orthodontic Treatments Applied in Our Clinic

We offer suitable treatment options for our patients of all ages, thanks to the innovative solutions provided by modern orthodontics:

• Braces Treatment (Brackets):
  • Metal Brackets: Traditional and effective, strong, and durable metal wires.
  • Transparent (Ceramic) Brackets: Tooth-colored brackets, less noticeable for patients with aesthetic concerns.
• Clear Aligners (Invisible Orthodontics - Aligner Treatment):

  The most popular orthodontic treatment in recent years. Teeth are gradually moved to the target position through a series of transparent, removable aligners custom-produced via special software. They offer aesthetic and comfortable treatment as they are nearly invisible and can be removed while eating.

• Pediatric Orthodontics: Guiding jaw development and preventing more serious problems that may arise later through interventions at an early age.

Orthodontic Treatment Process

1. Initial Examination and Diagnosis: A comprehensive evaluation is made with intraoral examination, X-rays, photos, and impressions.
2. Personalized Planning: Our specialist orthodontist determines the most suitable treatment method and duration for you. In clear aligner treatment, you can see your finished smile with 3D simulations beforehand.
3. Starting the Treatment: Brackets are placed or the first set of clear aligners is delivered, according to the chosen method.
4. Regular Check-ups: You visit our clinic at regular intervals to monitor the progress of the treatment and make necessary adjustments.
5. Retention Period: After the treatment is completed, retention devices (retainers) are used to maintain the teeth's new positions.
